The display on my TERRAPIN X shows four horizontal dashes. What does that mean?
Your TERRAPIN X display shows four dashes (“—-“) in order to indicate that it was unable to measure a distance. This can happen, for example, if the object to be measured is outside the maximum measuring range of your TERRAPIN X or if you attempt to take a measurement through a window pane. Your TERRAPIN X display will also show four dashes if you store a setting in the Bluetooth menu by pressing the push button three times (e.g “APP”).
To which KESTREL models can I connect my TERRAPIN X?
Via Bluetooth you can connect your TERRAPIN X to any KESTREL ballistics weather meter equipped with KESTREL LiNK.

What are the benefits of linking my TERRAPIN X to a KESTREL model equipped with KESTREL LiNK?
After a connection is established, your TERRAPIN X sends measurement results to any KESTREL model equipped with KESTREL LiNK. The Applied Ballistics Elite or Hornady 4DOF software embedded in Kestrel models equipped with the LiNK protocol calculates and displays in a matter of seconds precise ballistic corrections for the shooting distance measured with your TERRAPIN X.
What type of measurement data does my TERRAPIN X transmit via Bluetooth to a KESTREL model equipped with LiNK?
Your TERRAPIN X transmits the measured distance, azimuth, and inclination angle to a KESTREL model equipped with LiNK and connected via Bluetooth.
How do I connect my TERRAPIN X to a KESTREL model equipped with LiNK?
Turn on your TERRAPIN X by pressing (and releasing) the push button one time. The electronic reticle will appear in the display. Now press the TERRAPIN X push button three times quickly to get to the Bluetooth settings. The TERRAPIN X display now shows the current Bluetooth setting (e.g. “OFF”). Press the push button again until the display shows “hESt.” Pressing the push button three times quickly will then store the “hESt” setting (Display “—-“). To connect your TERRAPIN X to a KESTREL model, turn on your TERRAPIN X (if it has shut down in the interim) by pressing the push button once. Along with the reticle, the display will now also show a blinking Bluetooth symbol. On your KESTREL, open the “Options” menu, select “Bluetooth,” and switch the setting to “On” Then set “Conct” to “Device.” Now scroll to “Name” and select “New.” After a brief delay, a list of available devices in the area will be shown. Select your TERRAPIN X and then exit the KESTREL’s Bluetooth menu. The KESTREL should now display the word “Connected.” Please note that it may take approximately 15 seconds for a connection to be established between your TERRAPIN X and a KESTREL device. Please also note that you can only connect your TERRAPIN X to either a KESTREL device or the app. In other words, the establishment of a simultaneous connection between your TERRAPIN X and the app and a KESTREL device is not possible due to technical reasons.
Please make sure that your Kestrel device and your TERRAPIN X always have the latest firmware installed. Regarding the TERRAPIN X, especially firmware versions 13.02 and later have resulted in a significantly improved connection stability to compatible Kestrel devices.
